Abstract
Accurate detection of somatic mutations is still a challenge in cancer analysis. Here we present NeuSomatic, the first convolutional neural network approach for somatic mutation detection, which significantly outperforms previous methods on different sequencing platforms, sequencing strategies, and tumor purities. NeuSomatic summarizes sequence alignments into small matrices and incorporates more than a hundred features to capture mutation signals effectively. It can be used universally as a stand-alone somatic mutation detection method or with an ensemble of existing methods to achieve the highest accuracy.

Automated MRI-Based Deep Learning Model for Detection of Alzheimer's Disease Process.

TL;DR: 3D-CNN-SVM proves to be efficient without having to manually perform any prior feature extraction and is totally independent of the variability of imaging protocols and scanners, indicating that it can potentially be exploited by untrained operators and extended to virtual patient imaging data.

Curated variation benchmarks for challenging medically relevant autosomal genes

TL;DR: In this paper , the Genome in a Bottle Consortium has provided variant benchmark sets, but these exclude nearly 400 medically relevant genes due to their repetitiveness or polymorphic complexity, which poses a challenge for their accurate analysis in a clinical setting.
